Did you ever answer Col.2:9 and the aspect of "fulness". BTW, what you consider "presented and answered", is in your own mind, but certainly not in the majority of christendom.

I thought we had, but.... in respect to fullness, Christ is a single person in full possession of two distinct natures, one human and one divine. The Council of Chalcedon in 451 put forth the canonical statement of the doctrine as follows:

Quote
We confess one and the same our Lord Jesus Christ … the same perfect in Godhead, the same in perfect manhood, truly God and truly man … acknowledged in two natures without confusion, without change, without division, without separation–the difference of natures being by no means taken away because of the union, but rather the distinctive character of each nature being preserved, and combining into one person and hypostasis—not divided or separated into two persons, but one and the same Son and only begotten God, Word, Lord Jesus Christ.
What you and Speratus are doing is confusing (mixing) the TWO natures and thus seeing a change in Christ that DID NOT happen in the incarnation. You are elevating Christ's divine nature OVER His human nature and not allowing Christ to be a real human--thus all our emphasis on the humanity of Christ in this thread ...

Take a guess which of the TWO natures Col 2:9 is speaking about. Is it one, two, or ...?
